The plot centers around a young man named Freddie (played by Peter Falk), who becomes involved with a nihilistic and rebellious group of young people. The group is led by an intellectual named Nico (played by Jack Betts), and they become fascinated with crime and violence. The story takes a dark turn when one of the group members introduces a deadly toxin into soft drinks as an experiment, leading to tragic consequences.
"The Bloody Brood" is considered a part of the Canadian social realist cinema movement of the late 1950s and early 1960s. The film delves into themes of youth rebellion, societal issues, and the consequences of disaffected youth turning to violence. It's notable for its attempt to address social problems of the time within the context of a crime drama (1959).
